Adding a GATE
If you want a permanent opening or
gate in the containment field, you must use
what is commonly called a double loop,
as shown in Figure 9. Carefully follow
the current around the wiring and you
will realize that this layout is still a single
loop of wire that is folded back upon
itself. If the gate is narrow, you may
have to reduce the boundary field next to
the gate. This can be done by
triangulating or folding the wire back on
itself for a short distance as shown
inside Figure 9. Do not bury the wire
near the gate until after the entire
system is working and adjusted for the
proper field strength in all areas of the
installation.
In double loop installations, it is very
important to have the inside and

can place as many other openings/gates in the boundary field as you wish
by twisting the inner and outer wires together, or simply bringing the two
wires together tightly. This concept, shown in Figure 10.

wires separated by at least 6 feet
all around the containment area if
you want a normal containment
field width of 3 to 10 feet. Use
12. feet of wire separation if you
desire a wider containment field width
– up to 2.0 feet. Using less wire
separation reduces the field strength
and requires the dog
to be closer to the wire before
receiving a correction. Whatever
wire separation you choose,
maintain a consistent separation
between the inside and outside
wires if you want a consistent
correction distance. Remember
the double loop requires almost
twice as much wire, and burying
of that wire, as a single loop, so
plan accordingly.
Once you have chosen to use
the "double loop" layout, you
